My name is Myam Emmanuel Aondoungwa, but most people know me as Emmiwuks. I’m a proud Nigerian, a long distance cyclist, adventurer, and someone deeply passionate about using my bicycle to travel, tell stories, and touch lives,especially the less privileged.

In 2023, I was working as a crane motor boy in Ogun State, earning just 15,000 naira a month. Despite the modest salary, I managed to save bit by bit, driven by a dream that refused to die. That dream? To ride my bicycle solo from Benue State to Lagos,over 640 kilometers of sheer willpower. And by God's grace, I did it.

That ride was more than just a journey. It symbolized my resilience, determination, and the belief that with enough heart, even the impossible becomes possible. Since then, I've made it my mission to grow into the best version of myself through cycling, storytelling, and service.

I once organized a cycling roadshow in Abuja to raise awareness and connect with like minded adventurers. Though it didn’t go as planned, it only fueled my resolve.

So early DECEMBER 2025 I took a job with a Chinese company with salary of 100 thousand naira to start saving again because my next dream is even bigger: a daring cycling journey from Nigeria to the United States .

But this journey isn't just about me. The purpose behind it is to raise awareness and funds for vulnerable children, orphans, and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) not only in Nigeria, but across Africa.

I may not be able to help every child, but I believe I can make a difference for those my hands can reach.

I’m not asking for sympathy. I only share my story to inspire, to connect, and to invite you to be a part of something meaningful.

Thank you for being part of this chapter of my life. Together, we can pedal hope across continents.
